In response to Amanda, I also found this story very touching but I feel like you can see her desire to have her whole family together again. Her logic seems to be that if she could put up with the horrible treatment just a little longer she would then be able to be around her mother and the children again despite the hardships. I think she would agree that it would be better for the family to be together, which is why she pushes through the difficulties. At the same time, I don't fully agree why the father and Rose left the family instead of her father and someone else.- Elizabeth Frank | In response to Amanda, I also found this story very touching but I feel like you can see her desire to have her whole family together again.

| + | Well, I never actually realized that the poor treatment of immigrant women really happened. I have heard and ready stories, but these primary documents we had to read for today opened my eyes that the horrific treatment towards women was the NORM NOT THE EXCEPTION. Rose accepted this arrangement as she knew that if she left her job her family would suffer. Also, she was replaceable, if she left some other young girl would take her place. It seems that so many immigrants are after the American Dream, they will endure just about anything to get it. | ||
